The ball that became Foles’ NFL-record seventh touchdown pass Sunday, his cleats and the No. 9 jersey he wore doing it, dirt stains and all, were packaged together yesterday and sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

It will be part of the exhibit Foles shares with such luminaries as Adrian Burk, George Blanda, Sid Luckman, Y.A. Tittle, Joe Kapp and Peyton Manning. They’re the only NFL players to throw seven touchdowns in a game.

“It’s a great honor,” Foles said. “Last year we were fortunate enough to go to the Hall of Fame, the rookie draft picks, and it was really neat to see all the memorabilia, all of the great players there. It’s a great honor. A great honor just having a part of the Eagles there. I know there’s already a ton of Eagles stuff. For our team, for that game it’s pretty special.”

Foles turned into an overnight celebrity. If he isn’t named NFC offensive player of the week, the late Burk will roll over in his grave. Burk earned his share of the record with the Eagles.

While the interviews increased for Foles, it hasn’t been crazy partly because of the scrutiny the Miami Dolphins are receiving after suspending guard Richie Incognito, accused of hazing teammate Jonathan Martin. Sordid stuff always seems to sell. Everyone has an opinion on hazing.

Additionally even the Eagles needed time to realize what Foles accomplished.

“The fact that he and Peyton Manning are only two active quarterbacks that have done it, that’s a pretty good crowd right there,” offensive lineman Dennis Kelly said. “When you take a step back you can really appreciate it. It’s an amazing feat and that’s awesome for Nick to be able to accomplish that and be part of the group he is now. No one can take that away from him.”

Foles’ effort sparked the Eagles to a 49-21 rout of the Oakland Raiders. It was the Eagles first victory at the Coliseum.

Foles made his teammates part of the record as he praised the blocking of the line, the work of the receivers and even the defense for getting the ball back. Oh, and the dirt on his jersey came on a run, an Eagles offensive lineman said, not a pass.

“That’s awesome for him,” offensive tackle Jason Peters said. “He could have broken the record. He had seven touchdowns in the third quarter. We just kind of pulled the dogs off to get ready for the next game. Every time you looked up he was throwing a touchdown. I just told the offensive line, just keep giving him time and we’ll keep rolling.”

It was one of those days where it was tough to tell which was better – the postcard perfect Sunday or Foles’ perfect 158.3 passer rating.

The real Foles is somewhere between the listless effort leading to a 17-3 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys and the epic day against the Raiders.

But don’t underestimate Foles. He’s 2-1 as the starter this season and has thrown for 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions.

In two of those starts as well as the second half against the New York Giants, the Eagles displayed a dynamic passing attack.

Though the Chip Kelly offense typically starts with the run, it’s also about getting the ball into the hands of the best players. For now Foles is one of their best players.

Showing the confidence he just put on display, Foles wouldn’t discount taking another shot at the record. Who is to say he can’t do it again?

“I don’t worry about that,” Foles said. “Whatever it takes to win that’s what I focus on. It was special game for the Eagles. Hey, we’ll find out. I mean, I had never done that before. Like I said, I’ve done it in a video game. So I’m just ready to move on and go to Green Bay and do whatever it takes to win.”
